factory

we've become a little yogurt making factory.

homemade yogurt

i made my own yogurt! i am never going back to store bought yogurt. it's much cheaper to make your own. and it tastes reeaaallly good. and it is very easy (although i messed up the first time). and i'm happy that i no longer have to feel guilty about accumulating those plastic containers.

i got the recipe from larissa (surprise, surprise). if it seems like i get all my recipes from her, it's because i do! try it and see for yourself.

how i eat my yogurt

It's usually just like this...yogurt, strawberries, mangos and white peaches with granola or cereal. In this pic, I used Trader Joe's organic trek mix. Oh, and flax seed, which I forgot this time. Blueberries are great too. Perfect for a light breakfast or afternoon snack, it's both yummy and healthy!

a steal and a splurge

At Trader Joe's right now, a large sized basil plant for $2.99! I picked one up on Sunday afternoon. It will go in my next pasta or omelette. Great for cooking and smells nice too.

I got this along with my *favorite* yogurt at TJ's, Fage. This stuff is SO good. It's a creamy greek yogurt which I'll eat for breakfast with granola and cut up strawberries and blueberries. Kinda pricey though, almost $5 for this small container.


This is a splurge product for me. I usually get the Karoun Dairies product from the Armenian grocery store in Glendale, Jons. It's way cheaper and still good, but not as creamy and little more sour. You can also find the Karoun Dairies yogurt at Whole Foods, but I like to support the little people.
